 After stepping away from football his sophomore year at Eastern Kentucky University Jordan Scott thought his football career had come to an end. However when he decided to pursue his masters at the University of Pikeville head coach Cory Phipps gave him an opportunity to return to the field. There was always that part of me that you know knew like I had I had more left in me and never really got to show it uh so I needed that four years to grow up really uh you know I was around the right people had a really great support system around me holding me accountable and uh it's an incredible feeling I I mean just get getting to come out here and compete every day with these guys uh you know and really it's a blessing because we we have so many great guys on this team.

In addition to continuing his football career Jordan also received the opportunity to play with his younger brother something he'd always dreamed of doing.

It's you know like that's you know that's my best friend and uh so getting to play with him is is incredible.
